Cocoa Beach Fourteenth Annual International Sea-Bean Symposium and Beachcombers’ Festival
October 10, 2009
It’s enough to make a sea-bean-lover swoon.

Of course, the question that begs to be asked is: What exactly is a sea-bean?

I guarantee you’ll know after you attend Cocoa Beach’s Fourteenth Annual International Sea-Bean Symposium and Beachcombers’ Festival, held at the Cocoa Beach Public Library (550 North Brevard Avenue, Cocoa Beach, Florida 32931) Oct. 16 -17, 2009. The event features:

•    Sea-bean collections and displays
•    Sea-bean experts
•    Sea-bean polishing
•    The famous Bean-O-Matic
•    Jewelry
•    T-shirts
•    Slideshows
•    Speakers
•    Books
•    Authors
•    International guests
•    Raffle and contests (including the ever popular “Odd-Bean” contest, and Saturday morning “Bean-a-thon” beachcombing bonanza).

The event is not only open to the public; it’s free. While you’re there, you should definitely check out the beach and maybe even take a surfing lesson. Here’s a video that highlights me demonstrating my awesome wave-riding capabilities there.
